"Discovery house is in a ideal place to stay close to everything in Whitby!"
"The accommodation was nice and cosy with a short walk to the harbour."

Location
The Whalebone Arch is 300 metres away, while Whitby train station is a short way from this capsule hotel. The hotel is merely 6 minutes on foot from RNLI Whitby Museum and 0.9 km from the Whitby Harbour.
The Discovery House is in the vicinity of the Anglican St Mary's Parish Church.

Eat & Drink
Magpie Cafe, situated approximately 500 metres away, is a perfect place to enjoy British cuisine.
“Discovery House is centrally located in a quiet area, which I consider a definite advantage. While some rooms offer a separate lounge with kitchen facilities, reports of cleanliness issues give me pause; however, the convenience of on-site parking adds appeal for those driving.”
